IMPROVEMENT IN BASIN-QOVC'KS.

The Schedule referred to in than Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

To all whom it may conce-rn Be it known that I, CHARLES A. NEWTON, of' Providcnce, in thecounty of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented anew and useful Improvement in' Basin-Cocks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a ful-helear, and exact description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this speciiicaton.

My invention relates to the joint formed between the water-pipes and the double-tubed basin-cocks usually employed to furnish a supply of hot and cold water to bat-h and bed-rooms.

My invention consists in interposing between the basin-cock and water-pipes a double tube, having 'a auge at its upper end, which is fastened to a corresponding adjustable nut on the tubes of the basincock.

Figure 1 isa sectional elevation of my improved cock, and

Figure 2 is a horizontal section on the line :c a: of

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the vertical tube, fitted for attachmentto the table of the stand supporting the basin, in the usual way, and provided with the oscillating nozzle B.

It has two passages() and D,1eading from the VJ,lower end nearly to the top, where the lateral openings E are made through the said tube for the escape of the water into the nozzle.

Instead of connect-ing the two water-pipes tothis tube by means of' branch-pipes tapped into the sides near the bottom, as heretofore, tbc latter being closed, I propose to extend the passages C D through the bottom, as shown, and attach a forked-pipe connection, l", to the said lower end by screws G, passing through a flange on it into a nut, H, screwing onto the-tube A, interposing a packing washer, I, between the ends of the attachment au'd the pipe, said washer y having holes through it coinciding `with those ofthe attachment and the tube.

By this arrangement the joints will be much stronger, tighter, and more durable, and the downward-projecting brauchesK, of the attachment are much more convenientlysituatedl forattaching .the lead pipes.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new aud`desire to secure by Letters Patentl The forked and anged double tube K K F, screws G, nut H, and packing I,.combiucd as described, to form a tightand easily-adjusted joint:- between the prolonged tubes C I) and the water-pipes.
